Lyrics
In the morning when the moon is at it’s rest
You will find me at the time I love the best
Watching rainbows play on sunlight
Pools of water iced from cold nights, in the morning
T’is the morning of my life
In the daytime I will meet you as before
You will find me waiting by the ocean floor
Building castles in the shifting sands
In a world that no one understands
In the morning
T’is the morning of my life
T’is the morning of my life
In the morning of my life
The minutes take so long to drift away
Please be patient with your life
It’s only morning and you’ve still to live your day
In the evening I will fly you to the moon
To the top right hand corner of the ceiling in my room
Where we’ll stay until the sun shines
Another day to swing on clothes lines
May I be yawning
T’is the morning of my life
T’is the morning of my life
In the morning
In the morning
In the morning
